For His Services One Year Travelers
Company Pays $21,400 to Get
Law Through Hard Time to
Collect Bill of $15,000.
NEW YORK, March 28. William P.
Buckley had a most uncomfortable time
today in the fire insurance Inquiry. He
was on the stand practically all day.
State Superintendent of insurance
Hotchkiss continued his examination into
the lawyer's service in connection with
legislation at Albany for which Buck
ley is said to have received many thou
sands of dollars from fire insurance com
panies. Aside from Buckley's testimony, the
most interesting incident of the ffay was
the identification by George F. Seward,
president of the Fidelity & Casualty
Company, of Edward II. Brown of Mid
iletown. X. Y., as the man who in 1892
asked for J10.000 on behalf of Senator
"Big Tim" Sullivan to have a bill killed.
"Big Tim's-' Bequest Denied.
This request is alleged to have been
made in Sing Sing prison. Brown later
denied he ever had such a conversation
with Seward or had ever seen him be
fore. William B. Smith, general counsel of
the Travelers' Insurance Company, of
Hartford, testified his company paid
21,400 to Buckley in 1P03 to put through
the liability reserve bill.
This, amount is the highest mentioned
i having been paid for lawmaking.
Evidence Dug From Letters.
With Buckley refusing to talk, vir
tually all the evidence today was dug up
by Mr. Hotchkiss from letters exchanged
between Buckley and the late George P.
Sheldon, who, as president of the Phenix
Fire Insurance Company, of Brooklyn,
collected from various companies the
money sent to Buckley.
One letter from Sheldon to Buckley,
dated August 29, 1904. referred to the
coming election of State Senators and
said:
Election Money Discouraged.
"I wish you would bear in mind the
districts -where a little aid might be ren
dered in the matter of election expenses
and thus save our doing anything after
the Legislature comes together."
Buckley, however, did not approve alto
gether of this method. He wrote back,
"As a rule it is not altogether .desirable',
because our friends forget they have been
helped when the crisis comes. It is bet
ter to be prepared to meet the crisis
when it comes."
At the close of the 1504 session Buck
ley sent in his bill for $15,000, but he
had trouble in getting the money. The
bill was sent on April 9, when a letter
chowed Buckley took great pride in that
year's work.
"For the first time in years." he wrote,
"strike bills were not even permitted to
be Introduced."
Bill Hard to Collect.
Sheldon sent back the bill, sayinjf
"certain particular gentlemen" on the
underwriters' board objected to it. and
suggested Buckley circumvent techni
calities by putting in an item for serv
ices In collecting rate statistics. Subse
quent correspondence showed that
Buckley fixed the bill as Sheldon di
rected. Matters dragged along until
Fall, and still Sheldon could not collect
the $15,000. Finally Buckley wrote
twice to him, representing he had loans
that he must meet. He admitted in
his testimony that he had no such
loans.
"Then that was a lie, wasn't it?" M-.
Hotchkiss asked.
The witness admitted that it was a
lie. which he had used to hasten the
collection of his money. Late in the
Fall Sheldon collected a fund to pay
Buckley and sent the money to him.
LAUGH ON SALEM DOCTORS
They Can't Distinguish Bear's Paw
From Child's Foot.
SALEM, Or., March 28. Specia.) The
city tonight is enjoying a huge Joke at the
expense of three leading physicians,
three undertakers and other authorities
who are unable to distinguish between a
child's foot and the foot of a cub bear.
Saturday evening Mrs. Frank Durbin,
wife of ex-Sheriff Durbin, found a bloody
object in the basement of her home.
Physicians pronounced the object a
child's foot.
However, a son of E. W. St. Pierre,
chaplain at the penitentiary, has arrived
from Newport, where he killed three cub
bears, and states that a few days ago
he dissected one of the animals and the
cats carried away the fragments. It is
now taken for granted that the - foot
found in the Durbin basement was one
from a cub bear and not that of a
child.
Wedding Party of 450 Persons Fills
Seven Train Coaches From
Kichmond Orphan Home.
WASHINGTON, March 28. Eight bridal
couples came from Richmond to Wash
ington today and. were married for char
ity. Of course, charity was not the only
reason, but the charity reaped the first
benefits. They came with a Wedding
party of 450 persons which filled seven
coaches of a special train. Rev. J. F.
Cook, of Baltimore, came to the capital
to tie the bunch of knots.
First, the wedding party stormed the
license clerk's office for permits. That
official did his work in an hour. Then,
in the parlors of a downtown hotel, the
clergyman did the rest.
Each year Mrs. James R. Gill, superin
tendent of the Male Orphan Asylum at
Richmond, runs the "Cupid Special" to
Washington for the benefit of her charges.
Charitable folk and friends of the asy
lum compose the wedding attendants and
see that wedding gifts are not lacking.
Three other young couples, who would
not wait, were married in Richmond this
morning and came along on the special
train for their honeymoon.
THIEF-TAKERS "TAKEN IN"
Detectives Joe Day and Robert Hay
den Buncoed by "Steerer."
Buncoed by a chance acquaintance.
Robert Hayden, private detective for
the North Bank Road, and Joe Day,
of the Portland Police Department,
were yesterday called upon to make
good a number of checks which Hay
den had indorsed.
Detective Hayden last week became
acquainted with a stranger giving the
name of George S. Lyons, a supposed
business man of Spokane. Hayden and
Lyons occupied the same seat" in the
passenger car which brought them to
Portland, and Lyons so infatuated the
North-Bank thief-taker that upon ar
rival Hayden Introduced Lyons at the
Oregon hotel.
Sending for his friend Joe Day, the
North-Bank detective made the Port
lander acquainted with the man from
Spokane. Lyons ran short of money
at various times and produced a check
book on the Farmers Bank of that
city. Day is said to have filled out
the checks for Lyons, and Hayden ac
commodated him with an indorsement.
The checks were not honored by the
Spokane bank, and yesterday Mr.
Hayden received them through the
Portland bank, where they had been
charged against his account, together
with protest fees. The total loss to Mr.
Hayden was 42.40.

Company Cases.
WASHINGTON. March 2S. David J.
Brewer, Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, dead tonight
at 10:30 o'clock of a stroke of apoplexy.
His death occurred before lie could be
carried to his bed. Mrs. Brewer was
with him when the end came. Justice
Brewer was 73 years old.
The end was altogether unexpected.
Although he had not been feeling well
for the last few days, the famous Jurist
was up and out today and apparently in
good health and spirits. He was in equal
ly good spirits at dinner and spent the
evening reading.
Death Comes Suddenly.
Shortly before 10 o'clock he retired
to his room and within a few moments
Mrs. Brewer heard a heavy fall and
went to investigate. She found her
husband prone on the floor of the
bathroom.
He did not regain consciousness and
died before a physician, hastily sum
moned, could reach the house. His
two daughters, Mrs. James F. Karrich
and Mrs. H. J. Jetmore, were summoned
at once, but reached the residence too
late.
, Friend to Newspapers.
Justice Brewer came to the Supreme
Court of the United States from the Fed
erala Court in Kansas. He was the sec
ond oldest member of the court, Justice
Harlan only, being his senior. He was
regarded as the most democratic of all
the members of the court, most affable,
aapproachable and accommodating. He
was the one man on the bench who had
proof copies of his opinions prepared
for the newspapers aand this he did con
sistently. Another characteristic of the juri6t was
he never took any of the time of the
court or the public In announcing his
opinions. He reached the conclusion
probably many years ago that the audi
ence in the courtroom was so extremely
limited It was a pure waste of time to
read opinions there. He would give in
a few words his conclusions and then
hand down the proof sheets of his
opinion, always completely arranged.
Sympathies With West.
Justice Brewer essentially was a West
ern man and Ms sympathies were always
with the West. He was deeply versed
In corporation law and will be missed
immensely during the framing of the
opinions of the Supreme Court on the
momentous questions concerning the
Standard Oil and the tobacco cases now
under consideration.
In his earlier days Justice Brewer
camped regularly in the Rocky Moun-

Taiing Hint From Father Young
Man Puts Land to I'se and
Will Deal In Eggs.
SAN MATEO, Cal., March 28. (Spe
cial.) Charles W. Clark, son of Sena
tor William A. Clark, of Montana, has
gone into the business of selling eggs,
and members of San Mateo's smart set
promise to be guided by his initiative
and make the new town of Hlllsboro,
that they are projecting, a rival of
Petaluma as a poultry producer.
The original Intention was to make
Hlllsboro a "town de luxe," but the
fashion set by Mr. Clark and his wife
may effect a big change In Its scope of
utilities.
Mr ClarK and his wife have one of
the handsomest places in San Mateo,
their home being surrounded by 200
green acres. Senator Clark paid his son
and daughter-in-law a visit last year,
and he remarked at the time that It
seemed a sin to allow so much good
land to go to waste. The Clarks agreed
with the Senator and proceeded to look
into the matter. Shortly after they be
gan raising poultry, and before long
had some of the fanciest fowls in the
country.
The Industry developed to such an
extent recently that the Clarks found
they were obliged to commit it to the
care of their private secretary, also
manager of the Hlllsboro project.

told of the snowslides and floods which
she had encountered In her recent trip.
"When you pass by whole town that
have been destroyed It is terrible. The
whole night long, for many nights, I did
not close my eyes. The concert here can
not be am too nervous, too sick."
Herr Rapp, her husband, is with Mme.
Schumann-Heinke. They have made no

Doctor and Coroner Silent.
CHICAGO, March 28. That Alexan
der J. Moody, whose death of February
20 was attributed to ptomaine poison
ing, really died from arsenic was the
startling assertion made today by Cor
oner Hoffmann.
That the poison was contained in
hamburger steak eaten by the decedent
seems clear to the authorities, but the
manner In which it was placed in the
meat is a mystery neither the Coroner
nor the police have been able to solve.
While the Coroner and Assistant
Chief of Police Schuettler declare they
accuse no one, it Is admitted that a
woman of Moody's- household and one
of his employes have been under sur
veillance for a month.
Large Fortune Left.
Mr. Moody, like his brother Frank,
who Is a son-in-law of Representative
Moxley, and Charles H. Moody, inher
ited a considerable fortune from his
father founder of the big pie-baking
firm of Moody & Waters, of which
Charles H. was the head and Alexander
the secretary. The latter occupied a
fine residence at 210 Seeley avenue,
this city, owned a Summer residence
In Wisconsin and a farm at SU Charles,

February 20 fell on a Sunday. The
previous Thursday hamburger steak
had been purchased but not used until
Saturday, the intervening Friday being
observed as a fast day. On Saturday
the family partook of the meat with
out ill effects'. Sunday morning Mr.
Moody was compelled to visit the fac
tory and, as his wife was not feeling
well, Mr. Moody took breakfast alone,
the meal being prepared by Agnes
Hartwick, a servant who has been in
the family for 13 years.
Hamburger Steak Kills.
The left-over portion of the steak
had been rolled into balls by Miss
Hartwick and placed in the Ice box
over night. This box contained no ice,
the weather being cold, and was ac
cessible either from, the kitchen or the
rear porch. The easy access to the
refrigerator from without is shown in
the testimony of Miss Hartwick at a
private Inquiry when she stated that
eggs and meat had been missed from
the box on several occasions.
At the direction of Mrs. Moody, the
servant served Mr. Moody the steak,
cornbread and coffee. Miss Hartwick
ate a piece of bread dipped in the
gravy from the meat and some hours
later was taken violently ill.
Mr. Moody remained at the bakery
all day, but returned in a carriage at

MARTIN IS NOT SATISFIED
Colorado Ilcpresentative Says Head
of Department of Justice Dodges
Issue and Says Alleged Grab
of Friar Lands Was Made.
WASHINGTON", March 28. Represen
tative Martin of Colorado is determined
to secure an investigation of what ho
calls a "gigantic grab of friar lands
in the Philippines by the sugar trust."
Mr. Wickersham Makes Denial.
On the floor of the House last Fii
day Mr. Martin accused Attorney-Genera!
Wickersham of friendliness to
ward the trust when he said "the trust
is now the head of the Department of
Justice of the present Administra
tion." This brought forth a denial today
from Mr. Wickersham in the form of
a letter addressed to Representative
Bennett of New York, which was read
into the Record. The letter follows:
"I have read in the Congressional
Record of March 25 a statement mailt
by a member from Colorado that 'the
former attorney for the sugar trust Is
at the head of the Department of Jus
tice of the present Administration," and
later on what purports to be a quota
tion from a newspaper editorial, heal
ed, 'Attorney-General Wickersham, the
Former Attorney of the Sugar Trust."
"That such statements may not gain
any currency, I would like to say that
I never was attorney for the sugar
trust by which I understand is meant
the American Sugar Refining Company
and its allied or subsidiary corpora
tions nor had any professional t
business relations with it.
Partner Sugar Attorney.
"The only possible foundation for such
a statement lies in the fact that one
of my partners some three years ago
was retained as counsel for the Ameri
can Sugar Refining Company In a sin
gle lawsuit brought against it, and pur
suant to such retainer he. ansisted til
the defense of the company in that ac
tion and an appeal was taken from a
Judgment In its favor, but in that law
suit I was neither consulted nor did I
render any service."
Representative Martin was not on thi
floor of the House at the time the let
ter van read by Mr. Bennett, hut when
advised of the matter, secured a copy
of the Attorney-General's letter.
Charges to Be' Carried Through.
Mr. Martin announced he intended tn
carry his charges' against the Depart
ment of Justice to a definite conclusion.
He now has a resolution pending for an
investigation of the acquisition of friar
lands in the Philippines by Havcmeyer
interests.
Mr. Martin said in an interview:
"The Attorney - General, you Will
observe, carefully avoided making any
denial of the principal features' of my
charges; to wit, that his decinlon gavi
the sugar trust 65.000 acres of friar lands
for a price less than the Government
paid for it, and there was no warrant of
law for such a decision. The law plainly
limits the sale of public lands to any on
person or company to 2500 acres' and
there Is no question of the friar lands
being public lands.
Friar Land Grab Charged.
"Mr. Wickersham" says his partner,
whom I understand was Honry W. Taft,
a brother of the President, and not he,
was attorney for the sugar trust. This
form of disavowal will not carry much
weight.
"I shall continue my efforts' to show
up what I believe is but the beginning of
a gigantic grab of the friar lands of the
Philippine Islands by the sugar trus-t, all
made possible by an unwarranted deci
sion of the Attorney-General. I shall de
cide upon a further course within a day
or two.
"There are 4OS.O00 acres' of these friar
lands In the Philippine Islands, acquired
by the Government at a cost of $7,200,0)i,
which is $18 per acre. The sugar trust
acquired of this 55,000 acres for $6 an
acre."
